I came from the old school 30 years ago, bought the address book for baseball players and got to enjoy writing cramps every weekend for 2 years straight. nothing cooler than being 16 years old and something you mailed to Warren Spahn when you were 10 shows up in the mail autographed.
Most all i do now is for x4 kids ages 12 and under and trying to keep them interested in things like this. they love it so far!!
My favorite thing to do in todays Through the Mail world is to make sure my return envelope, (for the big time really VIP autograph requests i've sent out with multiple 8x10's etc), but for the big time guys i'm really pumped to get back i make sure my return envelope is labeled with a USPS label and tracking number i've printed. Not stamps. Because then i go right to the USPS site and enter in that tracking number and immediately sign up for TEXT Alerts. A couple weeks or more go by and suddenly your phone beeps that a usps tracking number you signed up for alerts on has been scanned in California! Then you know something good is on the way!!
